Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are aware of the difficulties experienced by London borough councils in the enforcement of the 90 days a year limit for homeowners' short-term letting of their property.

Where there are concerns about serious abuse of the 90 night limit a London Borough can seek a consent from the Secretary of State for the authority to make a direction to remove the freedom to short term let for 90 nights from that property. The criteria for assessing a request for consent are set out in the Department's planning practice guidance.
